Rather, they are the product of nineteenth-century evolution……続きを見る
<p>In this book, contributors examine the many meanings of the term 'nomad' through the study of food habits.

Food industries have seized control of this trend to make it the characteristic feature of consumption outside the home - always faster and more convenient, the just-in-time meal: 'what I want, ……続きを見る

<p>These thirteen essays are about the years spent raising a young family on Ocean Beach in a flat-black BlueBird school bus/home, under the hate-filled eyes of the "real" residents.</p> <p>Apartheid is not the same as Segregation and other lessons I never expected to learn in San Francisco.

Apartheid is them……続きを見る

This book examines how practical normativity, guiding how we behave from seemingly trivial interactions to……続きを見る

In his thesis Marco Moretti defines the relationship between nomadic people and law-makers between the 16th and 19th centuries. This is followed by establishing the evo……続きを見る
<p>Mahmoud Darwish, the Palestinian poet (1941 - 9 August 2008), was a friend. I was on Gor?e Island when I learned of his death during the course of an open-heart intervention in Houston, America. We had been together a few weeks earlier in Arles, the south of France. Even at noon the foyer of the hotel where we stayed was as if drained of light by dusk.
